:1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84
Now, list down the factors of 665
:1,5,7,19,35,95,133,665
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,84,665 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,84,665 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,33,773
11 | 77, 33, 773 |
7, 3, 773 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 7 x 3 x 773 = 178563
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/178563
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/77,84/33,665/773 is 7/178563
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 77,33,773 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,33,773) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 11
GCF(77,33,773) x common factors =1 x 11 = 11
LCM(77,33,773) = ( 77 × 33 × 773 ) / 11
LCM(77,33,773) = 1964193 / 11
LCM(77,33,773) = 178563
